A Free Web & Mobile App for Reading Comfortably — Readability

December 11, 2011

Just passing this along to everyone I know.

I do a lot of research for different projects.  Most of this work is online.  To do this and speed up my daily routine I’ve gathered some apps  and browser widgets that Readability does naturally.  It has eliminated a few work-a-rounds for me and so…  In the interest of pure utilitarianism I suggest checking this program out.

Budget Bytes

October 27, 2009

I’m kind of a foodie in my own right.  Not only do I like eating food but I also love to cook.  What I don’t like is the fact that almost everyone spends too much for their food.  I’m so adamant about this that I authored a book called “Buckets Of Food For Pennies”. 

Beth  of Budget Bytes strikes at the heart of this matter in her blog.  She not only lists recipes but their costs.  Then she breaks those down by cost per serving. 

If you are as concerned or curious about how much you pay for your food as I am you should check out this fledgling blog.  Smart idea, Beth.

Alice – Your Personal Shopping Assistant

July 15, 2009

Don’t have the time to “shop”?  Still want to save money?  Check this out.  Found on one of my favorite sites to follow for all sorts of stuff, MakeUseOf.com. 

I used to have a OK time stocking my little bachelor pad. But after I got married and had a baby, it isn’t always that easy keeping all your items, your significant other’s items as well as the little one’s diapers and food stocked on your shelves. I hear some of you guys snickering and saying, “Isn’t that what you have a wife for?”

True but she has lots of other important stuff to do like, I don’t know… Um, how about raising my daughter?

We have found a website that helps keep our stockable items in stock!

It even can beat most of the prices you are currently paying – especially if you are buying things in a brick and mortar store. Alice is the help we have been looking for and this handy web service is free! Just the way we like it! Let’s take a look at how she works:
